Weird play by Amazon — they’vechanged their Cartesian product Advertising APIso that roving apps likeDelicious Library , which pull production info from it , ca n’t use it . Its developers were force to pull it from the App Store .
Delicious Librarydeveloper Wil Shipley did require for permission , but Amazon told him to yank they app or they ’d close him down themselves . So if you never have around to snaffle it , you ’re out of luck . And it is specifically on the mobile side that they ’re being prickly :
You will not , without our express prior written approval request via this link , practice any intersection Advertising Content on or in connection with any site or app designed or intended for use of goods and services with a wandering phone or other handheld gimmick .
The only noetic explanation — insofar as there is one here — is that they want people to use Amazon ’s own wandering apps to get at their data and delay out products , which , in a room , pass along how they ’re push Kindle as software package on multiple platforms . ( computer software is important to them now , rather than being a dumb data provider , in other give-and-take . ) I estimate they think you ’re more likely to purchase poppycock from Amazon while you ’re poking around in their apps .
